These systems present distributed nature, multi-domain and time-varying, complex dynamics, multiple time and space scales. Modelling these systems using traditional analytical methods is almost impossible. This also challenges the existing automation theory and technology that generally work with well-established models in specific forms. In order to overcome the difficulties,&nbsp;<strong>my research is devoted to data-driven learning and control and their applications in energy systems<\/strong>. Currently, a large amount of data is produced and stored during energy system operations. It would be very useful if the behaviours of the systems can be learned from either historical or online data. In addition, data can also be processed to directly design the controller, predicting and evaluating system states, evaluating performance, performing real-time optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, the data-driven methodologies in my research cover&nbsp;<strong>modelling, diagnosis, prognosis and control<\/strong>. Three specific systems are currently focused on:&nbsp;<strong>fuel cell systems, micro-grids, electric vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.9iu0r5wkk2tb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_words\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhongliangli.site\/research#h.9iu0r5wkk2tb\"><\/a>Key words:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fuel cell systems: design, modeling, diagnosis, prognosis, and fault tolerance control<\/li><li>Fault diagnosis and prognosis methodologies<\/li><li>Energy storage: modeling and control<\/li><li>Design and control of power electronics<\/li><li>Control of converters interfacing renewable energy and electric grid<\/li><li>Energy management for micro-grids and hybrid electric vehicles<\/li><li>Artificial intelligence and advanced control methods and their applications in energy domain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.vvjrjj5a3bd0\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_projects\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhongliangli.site\/research#h.vvjrjj5a3bd0\"><\/a><strong>Research projects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.ak4iehz4awcr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ongoing_project\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhongliangli.site\/research#h.ak4iehz4awcr\"><\/a>Ongoing project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Started in 2022: Region SUD project <strong>AMULTI<\/strong>.
